  1. Having a clear out as a bass I just purchased needs a little more luthiery love (and money spending) than I expected. I have no use for this. Its a little roadwork on the outside, worst part is the damage to one corner. Still fully functional and the inside is fine. Just need to justify spending more money by parting with some stuff.

    £20

  2. Hi All,

    I have one of these: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/stagg-gdc-6-guitar-stand-case/6594?gclid=CND4x9Sk-ssCFc1uGwod0AoJKw"]http://www.gak.co.uk...CFc1uGwod0AoJKw[/url]

    Holds 6 instruments and is very secure when its loaded.

    I'm after £35

    Many thanks

    If that really is the case then IMO that is one of the most stupid design flaws I've ever come across.

    To get the best out of the device you are either dependant on whatever WiFi network exists at the venue (a really dumb idea) or you need to add your own router which kind of defeats the simplicity and elegance of the unit and adds another unnecessary level of complexity to your setup.

    In reality it works really well. Using a venues Wi-Fi network to run a PA wouldn't be ideal IMHO. In this scenario you're not bound by the manufacturers Wi-Fi router card (which could be of unknown provenance). This can be upgraded as and when needed. As the post above suggests it also means you can place a router exactly where you need it to minimise any interference issues etc. Its one of the reasons I went with the DL1608 over a B[font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]ehringer unit. The ability to control the unit while the iPad is docked is also useful incase the [/color][/font]Wi-Fi does drop out. It also has physical gain trim pots, which also provided some level of safety net if it went wrong. The other thing about the DL1608 is the cost; there are some great deals to be had on the older 30 Pin dock connector version.

    I've used the Behringer X stuff and its great. One of the bands I work with is upgrading to an X32 Rack. It should be fun when it arrives.But, I'm a bit smitten with the Mackie to have gas to upgrade mine.

  4. BTW you have to supply a wifi router which you connect via cat 5 to the DL1608. Personally I thought this was a pretty good solution as I could use a far better wifi router an place it where I needed it.

  5. I have one. Its awesome. So good to have all that functionality in a small box. I use an Airport Extreme and have never had any issue with the wifi. There are newer models on the market, but there are some great deals to be had on the Mackie.

  6. Yup, all the GK pubs here are doing it. Ball ache. A few of the GK pubs have refused, but not many. Guys have to normally wait a few days to get paid. A few hiccups have left me a month with no dough from a gig. You end up paying the £3 cost of processing the payment. If the moneys going into your bank account make sure you get an invoice from the others before you pay them.

    Its not the end of the world, just another hoop.
